you have one hypothesis is that the election returns. that is a cliche. they will be comforted by the fact that they're not getting too far ahead the american people. then you have the alternative which is being strongly argued by the other side. this is just a moment not to get involved. way you can tell what will affect which the justice which way. in terms of the roe v wade specter out there and the thision of continued war, is backed up empirically. these issues are fundamentally different in that because unlike abortion, and there is no victim they believe is being murdered. people very easily accommodate themselves to allow everybody to have the same opportunity to enjoy the benefits of married. you see this in state after state. people just calm down after a couple of years. if the supreme court were to say everybody has a right to marriage equality there will be some hub of about that. i do not think it'll be remotely comparable to the roe v wade situation. >>, may be right that the aftermath of a role like ruling will be very different in the con

there was discussion during the press conference about the coming afghan elections in april of 2014. secretary kerry was saying that he is satisfied that karzai and afghanistan are on the way to safe, secure and transparent elections. there were discussions about security issues which remain huge in this country. they discussed the withdrawal which is beginning right now of u.s. forces just west of kabul where there has been a lot of violence and accusations flying back and forth about whether or not u.s. and coalition forces have been involved in harassments and worse. there was a lot of tension in the past couple weeks about karzai's recent criticism, his allegation that the u.s. was working in concert with the taliban against afghan interests. >> now, the media took that to say that i said there is a collusion. i never used the word collusion between the taliban and the u.s. those were not my words. >> reporter: karzai said his comments were misinterpreted. kerry said he understood. the two men not necessarily old friends but certainly old acquaintances a together and a to be frie

polls aren't up for re-election. all of the folks in the red states are up for re-election in 2014. i think in many ways they will be happy to vote against an amendment, this assault weapons ban, but also support universal background checks. that will make them look moderate. >> mark, how do you build an organization of people that really do keep their minds on and their money on gun safety? >> well, i think we've started to do it. at this point we have more than 900 mayors around the country, 100 are republicans. we have almost 1.5 million grassroot supporters and all of them are about as heated up as we have seen about anything. they recognize this is a national moment. if you're going to turn this issue around, now is the time. we've sent more than 200,000 e-mails into the white house and members of congress and shut down switch board and won a major victory in colorado that was pretty hard fought. i think the predicate is there. success is patchwork but it is going to come. >> how do you get people to remind themselves? i know this is a tough one. the gun owner cleans his gun, h

virtually every republican elected official in washington has palled around with grover norquist, with a revolutionary, with someone whose goal is to destroy the federal government, destroy the founding fathers' creation. if they take grover norquist's goal so seriously they are willing to sign a pledge to follow his dictates on taxation, why don't republicans take grover norquist's words seriously? when jane fonda was protesting the vietnam war, if she said she wanted to drown the american government in bathtubs would they cheer the way they cheer grover norquist for saying exactly that? jane fonda never said anything as revolutionary as grover norquist. jane fonda simply wanted her government to stop doing something, wanted the government to stop wasting american lives and vietnamese lives in an unjust war we never should have entered and eventually surrendered. vietnam protesters wanted the government to stop doing something. grover norquist wants his government to stop. he wants government to stop. he wants to replace the government we have with some undescribed alternative with al

wade is best left to people and elected representatives. it's best left to the congress and various legislatures. if the people of california want to change their constitution, they can do it at the ballot box. i don't think the supreme court should intervene. if it were to happen, it would not have any effect in any of the other states. let's be clear. 86% of the american people live in states today that define marriage as between a man and a woman. this is the majority position for the american people. >> well, what you really do understand as well as i do is the way that there's repercussions. the old story was the supreme court follows the election results. the election results often follow the supreme court. people react. most voters vote negatively. they don't like things, they get out there and vote against them. will you be leading it, perhaps, an effort to rectify what you see as a wrong decision? >> well, i think as you pointed out in the earlier segment, chris, it's not so much i want to do it, but the reality is when the supreme
